BS 6349-1-4:2013 gives recommendations for the materials used in the design and construction of maritime environment structures, and includes specific provisions for use in a seawater environment.

Information about this document

A full revision of BS 6349-1:2000 has been undertaken and the principal change is to split the document into four smaller parts:

BS 6349-1-1: Code of practice for planning and design for operationsBS 6349-1-2: Code of practice for assessment of actionsBS 6349-1-3: Code of practice for geotechnical designBS 6349-1-4: Code of practice for materials

The principal change in respect of the materials content is that the document has been edited to be compatible with relevant Eurocodes. The concrete clause has been significantly revised to reflect current industry practice and to bring the recommendations in line with comparable British and European standards.
